  • Of losing such a godly and loving and faithful mom.
  • 00:01:49.732 --> 00:01:53.536
  • And on the other, processing the shock
  • 00:01:53.536 --> 00:01:55.638
  • And the indescribable joy
  • 00:01:55.638 --> 00:01:57.874
  • Of watching all of the hostages release

  • All of the living hostages released.
  • 00:02:00.243 --> 00:02:02.078
  • And the president of the united states

  • Visiting my country, visiting israel
  • 00:02:03.913 --> 00:02:06.216
  • For the first time in eight years.
  • 00:02:06.216 --> 00:02:08.084
  • The first time, actually, since trump moved the u.s.
  • 00:02:08.084 --> 00:02:11.154
  • Embassy to jerusalem, and also then hosting
  • 00:02:11.154 --> 00:02:14.157
  • An unprecedented peace summit in egypt.
  • 00:02:14.157 --> 00:02:17.760
  • On monday, i had the honor of delivering
  • 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.663
  • The eulogy
  • 00:02:20.663 --> 00:02:21.831
  • At my mom's memorial service as we celebrated her life
  • 00:02:21.831 --> 00:02:24.667
  • And remembered
  • 00:02:25.001 --> 00:02:26.269
  • What a great wife, a great mom, and a great servant of jesus.
  • 00:02:26.269 --> 00:02:29.606
  • She really was.
  • 00:02:29.606 --> 00:02:31.207
  • And simultaneously, when not quite simultaneously,
  • 00:02:31.207 --> 00:02:33.276
  • But that that day, all through the night and
  • 00:02:33.276 --> 00:02:35.411
  • And for the rest of the day, after
  • 00:02:35.411 --> 00:02:37.614
  • The service and the reception afterwards.
  • 00:02:37.614 --> 00:02:39.449
  • And all i was tracking the extraordinary events
  • 00:02:39.449 --> 00:02:42.385
  • That were unfolding in the epicenter.
  • 00:02:42.385 --> 00:02:45.388
  • And it's just a, it's just a swirl of emotion
  • 00:02:45.388 --> 00:02:48.157
  • That i'm going through and all israelis are going through.
  • 00:02:48.157 --> 00:02:51.160
  • They're all back home now.
  • 00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:52.428
  • And it's just it's mind boggling.
  • 00:02:52.428 --> 00:02:54.664
  • All 20 living israeli hostages.
  • 00:02:54.664 --> 00:02:58.034
  • And i have to tell you that watching these emotional,
  • 00:02:58.034 --> 00:03:00.937
  • Rapturous reunions with their beautiful and joyful
  • 00:03:00.937 --> 00:03:04.974
  • And weeping families was absolutely breathtaking
  • 00:03:04.974 --> 00:03:08.244
  • To watch those bear hugs, to see those tears
  • 00:03:08.244 --> 00:03:11.848
  • Of such happiness and such desperately needed relief.
  • 00:03:11.848 --> 00:03:15.718
  • I knew i was witnessing the hand of god
  • 00:03:15.718 --> 00:03:18.154
  • Literally doing miracles before my very eyes.
  • 00:03:18.154 --> 00:03:21.190
  • Before all of our eyes
  • 00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:22.825
  • Look, you know it for two brutal and bitter years.
  • 00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:26.095
  • I asked you not to lose hope, but to pray
  • 00:03:26.095 --> 00:03:30.233
  • To the almighty all seeing, all powerful god,
  • 00:03:30.233 --> 00:03:32.635
  • The god of abraham, isaac, and jacob,
  • 00:03:32.635 --> 00:03:34.671
  • The god and father of our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:03:34.671 --> 00:03:36.506
  • To pray without ceasing for this very day, for this very week,
  • 00:03:36.506 --> 00:03:40.343
  • And specifically
  • 00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:41.544
  • To ask the lord again and again and again, to show himself
  • 00:03:41.544 --> 00:03:45.415
  • That he truly is the prayer, hearing, and prayer answering
  • 00:03:45.415 --> 00:03:48.985
  • God of the universe,
  • 00:03:48.985 --> 00:03:50.086
  • The wonder working god, the god that does miracles.
  • 00:03:50.086 --> 00:03:52.322
  • And i ask you to pray
  • 00:03:52.322 --> 00:03:53.923
  • On the basis of the promises of isaiah 61.
  • 00:03:53.923 --> 00:03:57.160
  • The spirit of the lord god is upon me,
  • 00:03:57.927 --> 00:04:00.663
  • Because the lord has anointed me to bring good news
  • 00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:04.233
  • To the afflicted.
  • 00:04:04.233 --> 00:04:05.468
  • He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
  • 00:04:05.468 --> 00:04:08.604
  • To proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners,
  • 00:04:08.604 --> 00:04:12.642
  • To proclaim the favorable year of the lord, to comfort
  • 00:04:12.642 --> 00:04:16.279
  • All who mourn, to grant those who mourn in zion,
  • 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.916
  • Giving them a garland instead of ashes,
  • 00:04:19.916 --> 00:04:22.485
  • And the oil of gladness instead of mourning.
  • 00:04:22.485 --> 00:04:26.222
  • And now it's finally happened.
  • 00:04:26.222 --> 00:04:27.457
  • We've really seen god move, and and we need to keep praying
  • 00:04:27.457 --> 00:04:30.393
  • That he will bind up the broken hearted and care for people,
  • 00:04:30.393 --> 00:04:32.829
  • But he has set the captives free.
  • 00:04:32.829 --> 00:04:35.665
  • Don't get me wrong, this is president trump's
  • 00:04:35.665 --> 00:04:38.601
  • Greatest triumph so far in his administration.
  • 00:04:38.601 --> 00:04:42.038
  • Yes, it is prime minister netanyahu's finest moment.
  • 00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:45.675
  • They both absolutely deserve the nobel peace prize next year.
  • 00:04:45.675 --> 00:04:49.946
  • For they have done what the entire world,
  • 00:04:49.946 --> 00:04:52.882
  • Including president biden and vice president, former vice
  • 00:04:52.882 --> 00:04:56.219
  • President kamala harris said was impossible against all odds.
  • 00:04:56.219 --> 00:05:00.256
  • President trump and prime minister
  • 00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:02.125
  • Netanyahu have kept their promises.
  • 00:05:02.125 --> 00:05:04.761
  • They've set the captives free.
  • 00:05:04.761 --> 00:05:07.764
  • They deserve tremendous credit.
  • 00:05:07.764 --> 00:05:10.666
  • But ultimately, this was god's triumph.
  • 00:05:10.666 --> 00:05:13.936
  • This was his all powerful hand at work.
  • 00:05:13.936 --> 00:05:17.573
  • The prayers of tens of millions of christians and jews around
  • 00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:20.910
  • The world moved the hand of god, and god
  • 00:05:20.910 --> 00:05:24.046
  • Forced hamas to set these captives free.
  • 00:05:24.046 --> 00:05:27.784
  • And our prayers are finally been answered,
  • 00:05:27.784 --> 00:05:29.585
  • And it's honestly hard to put into words the joy, the elation,
  • 00:05:29.585 --> 00:05:35.124
  • The relief that every israeli is experiencing right now.
  • 00:05:35.124 --> 00:05:39.262
  • Certainly lynn and me and our entire team.
  • 00:05:39.262 --> 00:05:42.398
  • Yeah, there's much more work to be done,
  • 00:05:42.398 --> 00:05:44.801
  • Including the release of the bodies
  • 00:05:44.801 --> 00:05:46.235
  • Of every single hostage who died in captivity.
  • 00:05:46.235 --> 00:05:49.172
  • So far, hamas has only released a few,
  • 00:05:49.172 --> 00:05:52.408
  • And that's a violation already of the agreement.
  • 00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:54.977
  • But let's be thankful for everything that god has done
  • 00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:58.714
  • So far.
  • 00:05:58.948 --> 00:06:00.049
  • Let's trust him, and let's not stop praying for more.
  • 00:06:00.049 --> 00:06:04.821
  • Now, tonight, i want to show you what almost
  • 00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:06.923
  • No one in the mainstream media has shown you.
  • 00:06:06.923 --> 00:06:09.625
  • The most important moments
  • 00:06:09.625 --> 00:06:11.761
  • In the speeches of both prime minister
  • 00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.496
  • Netanyahu and president trump.
  • 00:06:13.496 --> 00:06:15.331
  • Sure, there was a lot of coverage
  • 00:06:15.331 --> 00:06:16.833
  • And there was even some positive coverage.
  • 00:06:16.833 --> 00:06:18.835
  • But it's amazing how little,
  • 00:06:18.835 --> 00:06:21.437
  • The network
  • 00:06:21.771 --> 00:06:22.705
  • News media, included of the
  • 00:06:22.705 --> 00:06:26.642
  • Most important moments of both of their speeches.
  • 00:06:26.642 --> 00:06:30.213
  • I said that we're going to read this week.
  • 00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:33.282
  • The book of ecclesiastes.
  • 00:06:33.282 --> 00:06:35.751
  • It has.
  • 00:06:35.751 --> 00:06:36.486
  • It's not a book of action.
  • 00:06:36.486 --> 00:06:38.921
  • It's a book of,
  • 00:06:38.921 --> 00:06:41.357
  • Meditations of thought.
  • 00:06:41.357 --> 00:06:44.393
  • A perspective on life and on death.
  • 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:47.763
  • And in this book we read the immortal words of king solomon.
  • 00:06:48.931 --> 00:06:52.869
  • To everything there is a season
  • 00:06:53.503 --> 00:06:56.572
  • And a time for every matter under heaven.
  • 00:06:56.572 --> 00:07:00.109
  • That means some are the shalom,
  • 00:07:00.743 --> 00:07:04.113
  • A time for peace, and a time for war.
  • 00:07:04.113 --> 00:07:07.416
  • The last two years have been a time of war.
  • 00:07:08.317 --> 00:07:11.754
  • The coming years will hopefully
  • 00:07:12.388 --> 00:07:14.724
  • Be a time for peace.
  • 00:07:14.724 --> 00:07:22.565
  • Peace inside israel
  • 00:07:23.032 --> 00:07:26.202
  • And peace outside israel.
  • 00:07:26.769 --> 00:07:33.042
  • Netanyahu's
  • 00:07:33.376 --> 00:07:34.510
  • Absolutely right, and i'm so glad that he did draw,
  • 00:07:34.510 --> 00:07:38.447
  • The knesset and and the nation and the world
  • 00:07:38.447 --> 00:07:41.384
  • To the attention of the bible, the book of ecclesiastes.
  • 00:07:41.384 --> 00:07:44.954
  • And it's exactly true.
  • 00:07:44.954 --> 00:07:46.556
  • The last two years were a time for war.
  • 00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:49.559
  • And we pray this is a time for peace.
  • 00:07:49.559 --> 00:07:51.494
  • And now, with all of the living hostages out,
  • 00:07:51.494 --> 00:07:54.564
  • This is serious that we really can move forward.
  • 00:07:54.564 --> 00:07:57.867
  • I believe and i believe it's a big moment ahead,
  • 00:07:57.867 --> 00:08:00.803
  • That it's going to dramatically expand peace in the region.
  • 00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:03.940
  • And i've got a youtube exclusive
  • 00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:05.975
  • That i want you to go take a look at on the rosenberg
  • 00:08:05.975 --> 00:08:08.010
  • Report youtube channel that goes into more depth.
  • 00:08:08.010 --> 00:08:10.379
  • Mr. president,
  • 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:12.548
  • Thousands of our
  • 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:13.816
  • Brave soldiers were also wounded,
  • 00:08:13.816 --> 00:08:16.852
  • Suffering terrible blows to body and soul.
  • 00:08:16.852 --> 00:08:20.389
  • Brave soldiers like ari spitz.
  • 00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:24.927
  • Ari is an american.
  • 00:08:25.394 --> 00:08:31.000
  • Ari is an american israeli
  • 00:08:31.567 --> 00:08:34.537
  • Who was injured.
  • 00:08:34.537 --> 00:09:06.569
  • Ari is an american israeli who was injured in gaza
  • 00:09:07.570 --> 00:09:11.574
  • While searching for hamas terrorists and weapons.
  • 00:09:11.574 --> 00:09:14.610
  • Two of his comrades were killed
  • 00:09:15.244 --> 00:09:17.213
  • In this action and ten were injured.
  • 00:09:17.213 --> 00:09:20.683
  • Ari was presumed dead,
  • 00:09:20.683 --> 00:09:22.918
  • But made a miraculous recovery despite losing
  • 00:09:22.918 --> 00:09:27.423
  • Three limbs.
  • 00:09:27.757 --> 00:09:30.926
  • Ari, stand up for a minute.
  • 00:09:30.926 --> 00:09:33.629
  • Alone.
  • 00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:34.063
  • Stand up.
  • 00:09:34.063 --> 00:09:34.764
  • There you go.
  • 00:09:34.764 --> 00:09:35.631
  • There, ari.
  • 00:09:35.631 --> 00:09:39.535
  • Ari, you are the spirit of joshua.
  • 00:09:40.302 --> 00:09:44.240
  • You are the spirit of david.
  • 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.242
  • You are the spirit of the maccabees.
  • 00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:48.310
  • You are the spirit of israel.
  • 00:09:48.310 --> 00:09:51.280
  • I salute you.
  • 00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:52.715
  • We all salute you.
  • 00:09:52.715 --> 00:10:03.559
  • We have paid.
  • 00:10:03.926 --> 00:10:05.695
  • We have paid a high price for this war.
  • 00:10:05.695 --> 00:10:08.230
  • But our
  • 00:10:08.464 --> 00:10:09.365
  • Enemies now understand just how powerful
  • 00:10:09.365 --> 00:10:13.202
  • And just how determined israel is.
  • 00:10:13.202 --> 00:10:16.639
  • They understand that attacking israel on october 7th
  • 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.775
  • Was a catastrophic mistake.
  • 00:10:20.376 --> 00:10:23.145
  • They understand that israel is strong
  • 00:10:23.145 --> 00:10:25.848
  • And that israel is here to stay.
  • 00:10:25.848 --> 00:10:28.384
  • And this, mr.
  • 00:10:28.384 --> 00:10:29.552
  • President, is the indispensable foundation of peace.
  • 00:10:29.552 --> 00:10:33.956
  • Peace through strength.
  • 00:10:33.956 --> 00:10:37.059
  • Ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:40.096
  • This is a momentous day.
  • 00:10:40.096 --> 00:10:41.997
  • A day of great joy.
  • 00:10:41.997 --> 00:10:43.766
  • As the remaining hostages come home.
  • 00:10:43.766 --> 00:10:46.402
  • My wife sara and i have met
  • 00:10:46.402 --> 00:10:47.970
  • With the hostage families many times.
  • 00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:51.540
  • There were no words to describe their agony,
  • 00:10:51.540 --> 00:10:54.577
  • Only tears of bottomless sorrow
  • 00:10:54.577 --> 00:10:57.913
  • And unimaginable pain.
  • 00:10:57.913 --> 00:11:00.683
  • At the beginning of the war,
  • 00:11:00.683 --> 00:11:02.485
  • I promised to bring all the hostages home.
  • 00:11:02.485 --> 00:11:05.688
  • Today,
  • 00:11:05.888 --> 00:11:07.556
  • With the indispensable help,
  • 00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:10.626
  • The determined and focused help,
  • 00:11:10.626 --> 00:11:13.129
  • The unremitting help of president trump, his esteem,
  • 00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:16.966
  • And with the incredible sacrifice
  • 00:11:16.966 --> 00:11:20.302
  • And courage of the soldiers of israel.
  • 00:11:20.302 --> 00:11:23.305
  • We are fulfilling that promise.
  • 00:11:23.305 --> 00:11:26.976
  • It has been a long journey to get here.
  • 00:11:27.743 --> 00:11:30.613
  • In the first week of the war.
  • 00:11:30.613 --> 00:11:33.249
  • Our brave soldiers put military pressure on hamas
  • 00:11:33.249 --> 00:11:37.787
  • And the international community
  • 00:11:37.787 --> 00:11:39.388
  • Put diplomatic pressure on them.
  • 00:11:39.388 --> 00:11:41.791
  • This enabled us to secure the release
  • 00:11:41.791 --> 00:11:44.293
  • Of over 100 hostages
  • 00:11:44.293 --> 00:11:47.062
  • In heroic rescue attempts behind enemy lines.
  • 00:11:47.062 --> 00:11:50.366
  • Israeli special forces rescued eight live hostages
  • 00:11:50.366 --> 00:11:54.303
  • And brought back the remains of dozens more.
  • 00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:57.540
  • But as time went on,
  • 00:11:58.007 --> 00:11:59.942
  • We all know what happened.
  • 00:11:59.942 --> 00:12:02.478
  • The diplomatic pressure was turned on its head.
  • 00:12:02.478 --> 00:12:06.549
  • More and more governments bought into hamas's false propaganda.
  • 00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:11.153
  • More and more governments succumb to anti-semitic mobs
  • 00:12:11.153 --> 00:12:14.957
  • In their own countries.
  • 00:12:14.957 --> 00:12:16.525
  • They just turned on israel.
  • 00:12:16.525 --> 00:12:18.494
  • They called for us to surrender to hamas demands
  • 00:12:18.494 --> 00:12:21.330
  • To leave gaza immediately, they said,
  • 00:12:21.330 --> 00:12:23.599
  • And the war without committing to disarm hamas,
  • 00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:26.869
  • Without committing to demilitarize gaza
  • 00:12:26.869 --> 00:12:30.005
  • And israel succumb to those demands.
  • 00:12:30.806 --> 00:12:33.375
  • Not only would the sinwar, nasrallah, assad and iran's
  • 00:12:33.375 --> 00:12:38.581
  • Missile and nuclear program remain intact.
  • 00:12:38.581 --> 00:12:42.318
  • Not only that,
  • 00:12:42.651 --> 00:12:44.587
  • Because in no time
  • 00:12:44.587 --> 00:12:46.455
  • The hamas killers would be back on the border fence, ready
  • 00:12:46.455 --> 00:12:49.625
  • To repeat the horrors of october 7th.
  • 00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:51.894
  • Again and again, as they vowed to do.
  • 00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:55.531
  • But just at that point,
  • 00:12:56.031 --> 00:12:59.335
  • Just to that point of maximum pressure on israel,
  • 00:12:59.335 --> 00:13:02.905
  • A man named donald j.
  • 00:13:03.405 --> 00:13:05.107
  • Trump was elected president of the united states.
  • 00:13:05.107 --> 00:13:15.718
  • And ladies and gentlemen,
  • 00:13:16.285 --> 00:13:18.554
  • Overnight,
  • 00:13:18.554 --> 00:13:20.623
  • Overnight, everything changed.
  • 00:13:20.623 --> 00:13:24.426
  • Everything.
  • 00:13:24.760 --> 00:13:30.633
  • Mr. president,
  • 00:13:30.966 --> 00:13:32.534
  • Thanks to your unequivocal backing of israel,
  • 00:13:32.534 --> 00:13:36.171
  • We secured a second hostage deal
  • 00:13:36.171 --> 00:13:39.041
  • Within weeks of your election.
  • 00:13:39.041 --> 00:13:41.844
  • And in the months that followed,
  • 00:13:41.844 --> 00:13:43.879
  • We worked closely together to forge a path
  • 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:46.715
  • To bring the remaining hostages home and end the war
  • 00:13:46.715 --> 00:13:50.386
  • And the war in a way that ensures the disarming of hamas,
  • 00:13:50.386 --> 00:13:53.956
  • The demilitarization of gaza, and that gaza would never again
  • 00:13:53.956 --> 00:13:57.593
  • Pose a threat to israel.
  • 00:13:57.593 --> 00:13:59.361
  • Two months ago,
  • 00:13:59.728 --> 00:14:01.196
  • You fully backed my decision to send the idf
  • 00:14:01.196 --> 00:14:04.199
  • Into the last hamas stronghold in gaza city.
  • 00:14:04.199 --> 00:14:07.469
  • You shared my view
  • 00:14:07.903 --> 00:14:09.505
  • That this military pressure would help free the hostages.
  • 00:14:09.505 --> 00:14:12.942
  • And despite all the criticism, all the naysayers,
  • 00:14:12.942 --> 00:14:17.146
  • We were right.
  • 00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:19.581
  • Hamas caved in.
  • 00:14:19.581 --> 00:14:22.751
  • And two weeks ago,
  • 00:14:22.751 --> 00:14:25.654
  • You succeeded in doing something
  • 00:14:25.654 --> 00:14:28.958
  • Miraculous.
  • 00:14:28.958 --> 00:14:31.293
  • You succeeded in doing something
  • 00:14:31.293 --> 00:14:33.495
  • That no one believed was possible.
  • 00:14:33.495 --> 00:14:36.865
  • You brought most of the arab world.
  • 00:14:36.865 --> 00:14:40.369
  • You did.
  • 00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:41.337
  • You brought most of the world
  • 00:14:41.337 --> 00:14:44.139
  • Behind your proposal to free the hostages and end the war.
  • 00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:48.010
  • Well, netanyahu was absolutely right.
  • 00:14:48.010 --> 00:14:49.378
  • This was a miraculous victory.
  • 00:14:49.378 --> 00:14:50.946
  • And and this is a massive victory for israel.
  • 00:14:50.946 --> 00:14:53.515
  • And prime minister netanyahu, personally,
  • 00:14:53.515 --> 00:14:55.351
  • I believe this is truly bibi netanyahu's finest moment.
  • 00:14:55.351 --> 00:14:58.954
  • And he's had a lot of them over
  • 00:14:58.954 --> 00:15:00.923
  • Almost two decades of being in power.
  • 00:15:00.923 --> 00:15:02.524
  • But he's had a lot of
  • 00:15:02.524 --> 00:15:03.792
  • A lot of mistakes, and he's and a lot of failures.
  • 00:15:03.792 --> 00:15:06.295
  • Also, october 7th being the biggest failure of his life.
  • 00:15:06.295 --> 00:15:09.798
  • But this is his finest moment.
  • 00:15:09.798 --> 00:15:11.667
  • The world told netanyahu to surrender, but he refused.
  • 00:15:11.667 --> 00:15:15.904
  • The world cursed him.
  • 00:15:15.904 --> 00:15:17.172
  • The world accused netanyahu of genocide.
  • 00:15:17.172 --> 00:15:19.875
  • But none of that was true.
  • 00:15:19.875 --> 00:15:21.310
  • And netanyahu stayed focused,
  • 00:15:21.310 --> 00:15:22.878
  • Like winston churchill in world war two.
  • 00:15:22.878 --> 00:15:24.980
  • Beaming, netanyahu stood his ground
  • 00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:27.916
  • In the face of his enemies. he refused to surrender.
  • 00:15:27.916 --> 00:15:30.886
  • He kept his promises.
  • 00:15:30.886 --> 00:15:33.055
  • The hostages are home.
  • 00:15:33.055 --> 00:15:34.857
  • Hamas is collapsing.
  • 00:15:34.857 --> 00:15:36.992
  • A sweeping expansion of the abraham accords are coming.
  • 00:15:36.992 --> 00:15:40.262
  • And the u.s..
  • 00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:41.764
  • Israeli strategic alliance has never, ever been closer.
  • 00:15:41.764 --> 00:15:48.303

  • Most controversial thing

  • That he said?

  • Something that shocked many, but also got the standing ovation,
  • 00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:04.119
  • The longest standing ovation of his entire address?
  • 00:16:04.119 --> 00:16:07.289

  • Isaac and jacob.

  • After two
  • 00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:38.314
  • Harrowing years in darkness and captivity,
  • 00:17:38.314 --> 00:17:41.951

  • On the battlefield into the ultimate prize
  • 00:19:21.017 --> 00:19:23.920
  • Of peace and prosperity for the entire middle east.
  • 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.156
  • It's about time
  • 00:19:27.156 --> 00:19:28.191
  • You were able to enjoy the fruits of your labor.
  • 00:19:28.191 --> 00:19:31.928
  • And they did nothing
  • 00:19:31.928 --> 00:19:32.996
  • With this incredible document, the abraham accords.
  • 00:19:32.996 --> 00:19:36.399
  • But now you can fill them up. now you have peace.
  • 00:19:36.399 --> 00:19:38.568
  • You have people that really like israel.
  • 00:19:38.568 --> 00:19:42.238
  • I tell you what, and they like israel
  • 00:19:42.238 --> 00:19:43.940
  • A lot more today than they did even five weeks ago.
  • 00:19:43.940 --> 00:19:46.576
  • And you've made a lot of if you've come back,
  • 00:19:46.576 --> 00:19:49.679
  • You've come back strong because it was getting to be
  • 00:19:49.679 --> 00:19:51.914
  • A little nasty out there in the world,
  • 00:19:51.914 --> 00:19:53.583
  • And ultimately the world wins. you can't beat the world alone.
  • 00:19:53.583 --> 00:19:56.452
  • I would say to bibi,
  • 00:19:56.452 --> 00:19:58.154
  • Bibi, it's now time.
  • 00:19:58.154 --> 00:20:01.090
  • And he understood it better than anybody.
  • 00:20:01.090 --> 00:20:03.626
  • Because ultimately, you know, the world's a very big place.
  • 00:20:03.626 --> 00:20:07.230
  • And i've said a lot.
  • 00:20:07.697 --> 00:20:09.432
  • I said, this piece of land is very small.
  • 00:20:09.432 --> 00:20:12.402
  • It's unbelievable what you've done with that tiny.
  • 00:20:12.402 --> 00:20:15.071
  • You look at a map even of just not the world, the middle east,
  • 00:20:15.071 --> 00:20:18.941
  • And you have this little dot, and think of what you've done.
  • 00:20:18.941 --> 00:20:22.478
  • It's incredible. it's incredible.
  • 00:20:22.478 --> 00:20:28.851
  • And i just want to congratulate you
  • 00:20:29.652 --> 00:20:31.821
  • For having the courage to say, that's it, we've won.
  • 00:20:31.821 --> 00:20:36.492
  • And now let's enjoy our lives and let's rebuild israel
  • 00:20:36.492 --> 00:20:40.129
  • And make it stronger and bigger
  • 00:20:40.129 --> 00:20:42.065
  • And better than it's ever been before.
  • 00:20:42.065 --> 00:20:44.267
  • You're going to do that
  • 00:20:44.267 --> 00:20:46.469
  • Took a lot of guts.
  • 00:20:46.469 --> 00:20:48.705
  • And, you know, if you think about it,
  • 00:20:48.705 --> 00:20:51.207
  • You are safer today, stronger today,
  • 00:20:51.207 --> 00:20:54.143
  • And more respected today than at any time
  • 00:20:54.143 --> 00:20:58.648
  • In the history of israel.
  • 00:20:59.215 --> 00:21:01.017
  • Think of it.
  • 00:21:01.017 --> 00:21:04.187
  • The god who once dwelled among his people
  • 00:21:05.054 --> 00:21:07.290
  • In this city still calls us, in the words of scripture,
  • 00:21:07.290 --> 00:21:10.893
  • The turn from evil and do good to seek peace. and.
  • 00:21:10.893 --> 00:21:15.898
  • Pursue it.
  • 00:21:15.898 --> 00:21:17.500
  • So he still whispers truth into the hills
  • 00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:19.936
  • And nose and valleys of his magnificent creation.
  • 00:21:19.936 --> 00:21:23.539
  • And he still writes hope
  • 00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:24.774
  • Into the hearts of his children all over the world.
  • 00:21:24.774 --> 00:21:27.877
  • And that is why, even after 3000 years of pain and conflict,
  • 00:21:27.877 --> 00:21:32.348
  • The people of israel have never given up.
  • 00:21:32.348 --> 00:21:34.550
  • We are going to have hope,
  • 00:21:34.550 --> 00:21:36.586
  • Harmony, opportunity and happiness here
  • 00:21:36.586 --> 00:21:39.455
  • In the spiritual and geographic center of the entire world.
  • 00:21:39.455 --> 00:21:44.060
  • That's what you are.
  • 00:21:44.060 --> 00:21:45.895
  • Israel, america, and all of the nations
  • 00:21:45.895 --> 00:21:48.965
  • Of the middle east will soon be safer,
  • 00:21:48.965 --> 00:21:50.867
  • Stronger, greater, and more prosperous than ever before.
  • 00:21:50.867 --> 00:22:00.877
  • And, i love israel.
  • 00:22:01.344 --> 00:22:04.514
  • I'm with you all the way.
  • 00:22:04.514 --> 00:22:06.082
  • You will be bigger, better, stronger,
  • 00:22:06.082 --> 00:22:09.786
  • And more loving. than ever before.
  • 00:22:10.553 --> 00:22:13.055
  • Thank you very much. god bless you.
  • 00:22:13.055 --> 00:22:15.224
  • God bless
  • 00:22:15.224 --> 00:22:16.459
  • The united states of america and god bless the middle east.
  • 00:22:16.459 --> 00:22:20.596
  • Thank you everybody.
  • 00:22:20.596 --> 00:22:22.198
  • Good luck.
  • 00:22:22.198 --> 00:22:23.199
  • Thank you very much. thank you.
  • 00:22:23.199 --> 00:22:25.635
  • What a great way for donald trump to end this speech.
  • 00:22:25.635 --> 00:22:29.172
  • He says to the nation of israel, after painting a
  • 00:22:29.172 --> 00:22:31.541
  • Beautiful vision of what the middle east could look like.
  • 00:22:31.541 --> 00:22:35.411
  • Trump says to israel, i love you.
  • 00:22:36.179 --> 00:22:39.582
  • I'm with you.
  • 00:22:39.949 --> 00:22:41.250
  • God bless you.
  • 00:22:41.250 --> 00:22:43.519
  • Those are the words israelis have long to hear.
  • 00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.956
  • They not just the words, but the actions
  • 00:22:46.956 --> 00:22:51.260
  • Of an american commander in chief standing with them
  • 00:22:51.260 --> 00:22:55.331
  • To win the war and win the peace.
  • 00:22:56.032 --> 00:23:00.369
  • Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
  • 00:23:01.137 --> 00:23:03.272
  • What was the absolutely most controversial thing
  • 00:23:03.272 --> 00:23:06.609
  • The president trump said in israel?
  • 00:23:06.609 --> 00:23:08.611
  • Something that shocked many, but also got the longest
  • 00:23:08.611 --> 00:23:12.014
  • Standing ovation of his entire address.
  • 00:23:12.014 --> 00:23:15.051
  • Could it
  • 00:23:15.051 --> 00:23:16.252
  • Change the entire dynamics of israeli internal politics?
  • 00:23:16.252 --> 00:23:19.655
  • Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
  • 00:23:19.655 --> 00:23:23.659
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:23:23.659 --> 00:23:26.004
  • Right after the break.
  • 00:23:26.004 --> 00:23:29.299
  • Good evening, and welcome back to the rosenberg report.
  • 00:23:30.434 --> 00:23:33.170
  • What was the most controversial moment
  • 00:23:33.170 --> 00:23:35.205
  • In president trump's speech in israel?
  • 00:23:35.205 --> 00:23:37.107
  • The moment that also brought the longest standing ovation
  • 00:23:37.107 --> 00:23:40.711
  • And thunderous,
  • 00:23:40.711 --> 00:23:42.179
  • Dare i say, deafening applause of the entire address?
  • 00:23:42.179 --> 00:23:45.816
  • Without question, it was this.
  • 00:23:45.816 --> 00:23:47.551
  • Take a look. hey, i have an idea.
  • 00:23:47.551 --> 00:23:50.888
  • Mr. president, why don't you give him a pardon?
  • 00:23:50.888 --> 00:24:45.108
  • By the way.
  • 00:24:45.442 --> 00:24:46.510
  • That was not in the speech as you probably know.
  • 00:24:46.510 --> 00:24:49.046
  • But i happen to
  • 00:24:49.413 --> 00:24:50.280
  • Like this gentleman right over here,
  • 00:24:50.280 --> 00:24:51.848
  • And it just seems to make so much sense.
  • 00:24:51.848 --> 00:24:54.051
  • You know, whether we like it or not, this has been
  • 00:24:54.051 --> 00:24:57.220
  • One of the greatest war time presidents.
  • 00:24:57.220 --> 00:25:01.291
  • This is what been one of the greatest wartime presidents and
  • 00:25:01.291 --> 00:25:05.596
  • Cigars and champagne.
  • 00:25:06.096 --> 00:25:07.864
  • Who the hell cares about that?
  • 00:25:07.864 --> 00:25:25.482
  • All right.
  • 00:25:25.782 --> 00:25:26.617
  • Enough controversy for the day, right?
  • 00:25:26.617 --> 00:25:29.152
  • It's actually, i don't think it's very controversial.
  • 00:25:29.152 --> 00:25:31.622
  • So, you know, i mean, i see so popular.
  • 00:25:31.622 --> 00:25:34.424
  • You are a very popular man. you know why?
  • 00:25:34.424 --> 00:25:36.526
  • Because you know how to win.
  • 00:25:36.526 --> 00:25:45.168
  • Well, that's our show for tonight.
  • 00:25:45.936 --> 00:25:47.204
  • And thank you so much
  • 00:25:47.204 --> 00:25:48.905
  • For watching as we continue to kick off this fourth season
  • 00:25:48.905 --> 00:25:52.442
  • Of the rosenberg report. i'm so grateful.
  • 00:25:52.442 --> 00:25:54.544
  • Look, i want you to keep praying without ceasing that hamas
  • 00:25:54.544 --> 00:25:58.181
  • Keeps its word and returns every single,
  • 00:25:58.181 --> 00:26:02.486
  • Body of the deceased hostages back to israel.
  • 00:26:02.486 --> 00:26:06.390
  • They have betrayed the trump agreement so far on this.
  • 00:26:06.390 --> 00:26:10.827
  • Just in the early hours.
  • 00:26:10.827 --> 00:26:12.729
  • We'll see.
  • 00:26:13.030 --> 00:26:14.598
  • Trump has a lot of leverage, and so does israel, right?
  • 00:26:14.598 --> 00:26:17.601
  • Israel could go back to war if we have to,
  • 00:26:17.601 --> 00:26:20.137
  • Because we now have all our hostages back.
  • 00:26:20.137 --> 00:26:22.706
  • I don't think trump wants israel to go back to war.
  • 00:26:22.706 --> 00:26:25.409
  • Trump is saying it's a new era for a new middle east.
  • 00:26:25.409 --> 00:26:28.912
  • But trump has to prove now that he will force hamas
  • 00:26:28.912 --> 00:26:32.816
  • To keep its promise.
  • 00:26:33.283 --> 00:26:34.484
  • So let's keep praying that that actually is what happened.
  • 00:26:34.484 --> 00:26:37.554
  • Let's keep praying.
  • 00:26:37.554 --> 00:26:38.522
  • Two for the spiritual and emotional recovery
  • 00:26:38.522 --> 00:26:42.259
  • Of every israeli and every palestinian as we move
  • 00:26:42.259 --> 00:26:46.129
  • What we hope is to this new era of calm,
  • 00:26:46.129 --> 00:26:49.566
  • The scars on israeli society
  • 00:26:49.566 --> 00:26:52.235
  • And israeli and palestinian hearts and minds are devastated.
  • 00:26:52.235 --> 00:26:56.640
  • Israel and gaza are not going to be the same going forward.
  • 00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.943
  • Of course, we'll look at that from multiple angles
  • 00:26:59.943 --> 00:27:01.978
  • Going forward,
  • 00:27:01.978 --> 00:27:03.246
  • But i ask you to keep praying for that and for the joshua fund
  • 00:27:03.246 --> 00:27:06.516
  • As we serve and minister to israelis and palestinians,
  • 00:27:06.516 --> 00:27:10.654
  • Through the local believers in jesus and and for all
  • 00:27:10.654 --> 00:27:14.491
  • Israel news and all arab news as we cover it from every angle.
  • 00:27:14.491 --> 00:27:18.395
  • Thank you again. thank you so much for watching.
  • 00:27:18.395 --> 00:27:20.330
  • Have a great week with your family and friends.
  • 00:27:20.330 --> 00:27:23.166
  • I hope you'll tell your family and friends this story
  • 00:27:23.166 --> 00:27:26.470
  • And share this video with them.
  • 00:27:26.470 --> 00:27:28.405
  • And thank god for this huge, miraculous answer to prayer.
  • 00:27:28.405 --> 00:27:33.477
  • Don't let's not move past this and go.
  • 00:27:33.477 --> 00:27:35.245
  • What about what about what about?
  • 00:27:35.245 --> 00:27:36.413
  • Yeah, there's a lot, a lot ahead of us.
  • 00:27:36.413 --> 00:27:38.715
  • But let's be grateful for what god has done.
  • 00:27:38.715 --> 00:27:41.885
  • And lord willing,
  • 00:27:41.885 --> 00:27:43.120
  • I'll see you next week right here on the rosenberg report.
  • 00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:43.120
